GoBankingRates.com figures that giving up the morning shave for an entire year can save $100 to $200 -- enough to buy a ticket to a hockey game. That costs includes the expense of razor blades, shaving cream and other grooming accessories.

Of course, there is life after the playoffs are over and that means shaving again.

But even then there are ways to save some money. GoBankingRates advises that drying razors after each use lengthens the life of blades. Also, instead of throwing blades away when they begin to dull, find a way to sharpen them for extended use.
